Ed Davey and the Lib Dems completely correct in standing up to Mango Mussolini.
It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.

The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.

The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

This is brilliant, always good to see Farage taken down a peg or two, thank you, Rep. Jamie Raskin. 👍
This deserves revisiting – Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant."

Please share as widely as possible. We need an antidote to media promotion and protection of Farage.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

I expect GB News hysterically yelling to start rioting, Farage on every news channel moaning that Britain is broken, Mo Yusuf on Newsnight apologising for wrongly thinking only asylum seekers are sexual offenders, and Pochin leading a national inquiry into white people are child sex offenders.

Lying fagman Farage in his relentless pursuit to feed his narcissism fabricated polling data about who’s the most trusted politician on the economy. In reality, 53% of people distrust him, worse than Badenoch, Stride, Polanski, and Davey. In net terms, both Polanski and Davey rank ahead of him.

Reform’s only Black local chairman, Neville Watson, has quit, saying he couldn’t stand the party’s tone and language on immigration.
Watson, who chaired the Edmonton & Winchmore Hill branch, told reporters the rhetoric was “nasty” and “not what Britain needs.”
Another one walks out… 🫠

Donald Trump said he'd make Americans healthier and wealthier.

10 months in, we're poorer and sicker.

In France, the police have launched an investigation into sex trafficking linked to Mohamed Al Fayed, probably centered around the Ritz Hotel, Paris (owned by Al Fayed).

In Britain, survivors have a hard time getting their case investigated...

One rule for the rich and one for the poor - it’s always been like this and sadly will continue to be like it probably until hell freezes over.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

WTF. Chuck Schumer, don't you dare SELL US OUT! What is the point of opening the government now when all you got is a "promise" for a vote? Tell me how this is a win, when the House votes it down and Trump does not sign off, even if it's passed in the Senate?

My husband and I have been together 39 years. First as domestic partners, then as a civil union and finally married in 2008 when legally allowed…each time jumping through hoops for recognition no straight couple is required to do.

Same sex marriage is not special rights…just equal rights. Period.

The Trump Administration’s cruelty knows no bounds. It’s one thing to spar with your political opponents—but starving children and seniors to make a point? That’s negligence.

I’m proud to join @repjahanahayes.bsky.social in prohibiting this administration from playing politics with people’s lives.
